Once the new rear clip was done, the entire frame was stripped and painted for a cleaner look. Now a days, you can't be competitive at shows with just a lowered and bagged suspension. That's why Mark chose to go with a 3" body drop to lay the truck out. Randy Davis from Mocksville, NC performed the drop. For rollers, Mark chose an offset set of KMC Floss. He chose 18x7.5 in the front and 20x8 in the rear with 215/45-18 Nitto's and 245/35-20 Nitto's respectively.

Now that Mark had almost a complete truck, he still needed the power plant cleaned up to match. He stayed with the factory V-6 but chromed a few parts. These include the valve covers, throttle brackets and power steering bracket. A Flex-a-Lite fan was added along with a set of Pacesetter Headers. The exhaust is made of custom bent 2ΒΌ " pipe with a 2 chamber Flowmaster. The engine block, several brackets and the front suspension was painted orange and blue to bring the exterior color into the engine bay. Mark would like to thank Chad Johnson, Tony Mooney and his Dad along with everyone else that have helped with the build up of his truck. You can see this truck racking up trophies and throwing sparks at a number of shows all over the southeast ranging from Showfest in Greenville, MS to Blood Drag in West Palm Beach, FL to Mini Nats in Pigeon Forge, TN. Look for it at even more shows in the up coming years.
